In their reaction to the story, some Nigerian wonder why the SARS operatives are not allowed to have a tag on them, at least for members of the public to easily identify them. This, they believe is the reason why the officers act outside of their jurisdiction to harass innocent citizens of the country

Btw, why don’t these SARS officers have identification numbers embroidered on their shirts like other other police officers? I think this is a major reason they tend to misbehave because the feel they can’t be easily traced. @YomiShogunle@PoliceNG@PoliceNG_PCRRU” A user had written

The Nigerian Police Command in Lagos have however been notified of the case and hopefully they act on it.
